'Out Of Gas'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So I found out when I almost blinded Dana on my very first Buffista post.
"My eyes!" she cried out.
This post brought to you by the fact that I have about a dozen movies checked out the library right now but nothing I want watch.
I feel this.
I started Raging Bull. stopped after 10 min. I started Airport. stopped after about 12 min. I started The Emigrants. stopped after about 20 min.
I have from the Library: An Unmarried Woman, Up in the Air, and Sideways.

Barring one scene, I like Sideways quite a bit. But I have a certain fondness for Solvang in particular (and wine in general) so that may play a role. I remember liking Up in the Air when I saw it in theaters, but I wouldn't think it has aged well.
I saw Airport a number of years ago. I didn't think it was great moviemaking, but I enjoyed it. Owes more to older movies (maybe '50s soap opera types like Imitation of Life, Peyton Place) than to anything that was New when it was made.
Big multi-plot, cast of thousands disaster movies were all the rage back then. Several of them were based on books. I enjoyed seeing how the different characters would intersect.
I wish I could find a complete uncut version of Goliath Awaits.
Airport is the film that pretty much defined George Kennedy's later career. I saw it in the theatre when it came out, and was ehh about it, except for George.
I like all of those, msbelle. Hope you will, too.
Finally saw Us today. I liked it a lot but don't see it having the resonance that Get Out did. In part for reasons laid out in that Verge article. That said, I'd say it showcases Peele's directing talent far more than Get Out, which was all about the script for me. I am glad to have not read anything before going into it though, so I highly recommend if you plan on seeing Us that you do so sooner rather than later.
